Heatwaves and chronic illness: How to stay safe?

Hello everyone, how's the sunny weather been treating you? ☀️

Heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense, with sometimes serious consequences for people living with chronic illnesses. Fatigue, dehydration, cardiovascular problems, or medications that increase sensitivity to sunlight can all worsen your condition in hot weather.

That’s why it’s important to adapt your habits during heatwaves: staying hydrated, resting more, using fans or ACs, and keeping up with your medical appointments can all make a difference. Being better prepared means being better protected, both individually and as a community.
